November Comes .... November Goes ...

The following sketch was done in November 2014 based on a photo that my daughter took of me out for a walk with my yellow labrador retriever "Lexie" in downtown Ottawa.

My November 2014 Moynahan Studio blog post also featured this lovely poem by Elizabeth Coatsworth:

Revisiting my 2014 sketch and the short-and-sweet blog post seven years later was incredibly helpful and has inspired me to change the format of my Moynahan Studio blog posts going forward.

November Comes

"November comes 

 And November goes, 

 With the last red berries 

 And the first white snows. 

 With night coming early, 

 And dawn coming late, 

 And ice in the bucket 

 And frost by the gate. 

 The fires burn 

 And the kettles sing, 

 And earth sinks to rest 

 Until next spring."
